What's that based on? The one time Potter stepped up to a big job he had a nightmare whereas Southgate is the most successful England manager in generations.

4 mins. I'm misremembering; wasn't outside the box.

Did for us too, didn't he, vs Blackburn? Souness said it was 'poxy'.

Joins Pope, Trippier, Livramento, Botman, Barnes, Joelinton and Wilson on the known injury list.

I like it but I must be colour blind cos I really cannot identify the colour purple there.

Sweden didn't qualify for the Euros. 👌

It's smart enough but it's incredibly basic, like they didn't unlock Pro designs on whatever tool they were using. Like that Puma one in the Covid season where they didn't even bother with a collar.

I get the argument re the ESL Six but surely the greatest beneficiary of FFP is Kieran Maguire?

The gear is looking absolutely banging though personally I don't love the texture, certainly as it appears on the home. Makes it look like a cricket jumper. Having recently deviated from DHGate to picking up cheap genuines off Vinted, you can tell the difference been fakes and the manufacture-made ones, and tbh I'd love to pick one of those aways up. But the prices are an utter, utter disgrace. For all they're better than the fakes, they're not £60/70 better. They're worth £40 at the absolute limit. Absolute scandal. Winds me up no end.

Would be brilliant to have you there. @HaydnNUFC, we're gonna have words, son...

Sven Botman set to miss 6–9 months with new ACL injury (Official)

Sick of reading this, mind. As if anyone at the top of the game thinks like this when they're still in the FA Cup and still in European contention. -

Playing someone who's carrying an injury is one thing; playing someone who is likely to completely rupture their ACL is another. I'm sure if he had the knowledge that that was a very real possibility, he wouldn't have played him. -

It's stupid to level anything at Howe, like. His team selections are clearly evidence-based. If the evidence is unreliable or incorrect, that's not his fault. It's a pity that - for all the good Howe's done - it isn't enough to earn the assumption (from some) that he won't play someone if there's a demonstrable risk that it'll cause a career-jeopardising injury. Re the injury, I think it's possible that there's been an oversight somewhere, but it's equally possible that it's genuinely just a peculiar case and the lad has been unfortunate. That thing about some specialists thinking he'd ruptured it and some thinking he hadn't just seems absolutely wild to me. I find it incredible that such a thing can be misdiagnosed, which supports the view that it's a really weird case. There is also the less belligerent reason, and it's an entirely fresh injury. -

It's got to be a huge blow to our recruitment plans, considering our presumed financial limitations. Schar will surely start fading soon; beyond that it's Lascelles and Burn, who simply don't have the quality to enable us to kick on. With Botman out it feels like we'll need to spend a fortune simply to match the situation in May 2023. Scouts have got their work cut out, big time.
